I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell bạn that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much thêm to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in tình yêu not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best Những người bạn I'll ever know and built an extended family I will tình yêu forever.
There's thêm to come before we bọc this up, and I promise you'll get to hear all about my experiences over the tiếp theo tháng as we approach the season finale (I have được trao an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for bạn to see!), but until then I invite bạn to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert's life and tham gia me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her -- and to my work family -- as I di chuyển on to the tiếp theo chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of bạn (this weekend's pictures were just the beginning). You, the wonderful fandom who gave thêm love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.' ;-) I tình yêu bạn all. Fasten your seatbelts. If bạn think bạn know what's coming, bạn don't.
Love, Nina
